Chapter 717: Monsters in the Pool
"I wanted to go down and see how there could be an oasis in such a big pit, and there were plants. In my estimation, it's definitely not easy, and it should be very dangerous. Zong Xin suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Old One, let a horse come over, I want to see the situation." ”
"Yes, wait. ”
The old one let go of a horse and patted the horse's buttocks gently, and the horse immediately walked in the direction of Zong Xin. Although the horse didn't know Zongxin as its owner, the horse was very clever in its movements, and depending on the situation, he knew that it was the old one who wanted to let him pass.
The horses walked slowly towards Zongxin, and the horses gradually saw the oasis, grass, and clear water in the desert, and at the same time, they could clearly smell the fragrance of grass and water in the distance...... The horses drooled and tried to get a little closer to see better.
The horses were too innocent to have the slightest doubt about this situation, and they didn't care about Zongxin's party, they just wanted to see what was going on in the distance and why it smelled so sweet.
Suddenly, there was a slip on his feet, and the horse roared a few times before falling all the way down...... The four of them watched from afar as the poor horse slipped off little by little, feeling very uncomfortable, but helpless, because this was his fate, even if these people were martial arts, they would never be able to bring a horse out of such a huge hole. What's more, this was originally Zongxin's plan, but when the plan was implemented, Zongxin was a little unbearable, because the situation of this horse seemed too miserable.
The distance from top to bottom was not close, and it slipped a little bit, and the horse struggled hard, rubbing against the sand and gravel all the way, and rolling all the way down with mud and filthy blood. The horse was covered in an unknown number of injuries, and everyone was wondering whether the horse would be dead or alive when it rolled to the end.
The slope is not steep, but the distance is quite long, and I have injuries all over my body when I keep rolling down. But in the end, the horse rolled to the end, and Zongxin and his party kept staring at its miserable appearance. But this is okay, and dying like this can be regarded as a relief, otherwise staring at Xiaobai's two dozen fierce beasts all day long, these horses are also mentally tortured. And in the end, they can't escape the wolf's mouth.
So far, there are only a few horses that can survive from Zongxin and his party, and it is because Xiaobai and they really can't eat them that they will let these horses live, as long as there is a little vacancy in the wolf's stomach, they will use these horses to fill it.
The horses under the pit struggled a few times, struggled to their feet, and limped towards the oasis in the pit ahead. It looked like one leg was injured and it was very difficult to walk, but he managed to survive. Zongxin and his party are quite relieved, it can be regarded as escaping from the wolf's mouth, and it will live under the giant pit in the future, and it is estimated that it will not be able to go anywhere else.
The horses crossed the oasis and came directly to the vicinity of the pool, bowing their heads to drink. It seems that he is indeed thirsty, in this case, the most desired is water, the weather is poisonous and spicy, and the body is seriously injured, at this time the first craving is not food, generally water.
Zong Xin said: "It's not very dangerous, an ordinary horse can't fall to death, I guess I'll be fine." And at this distance, not to mention sand and gravel, even if it is water, I can jump on it with my strength. There shouldn't be any danger, it's boring......"
The demon nodded and said: "It's really boring, it's just a big pit, although this pit looks terrible, but it should be that the soil here is poor, and it sinks a little bit, so such a big pit is formed." There should be groundwater, which is exposed because the ground is subsiding. ”
"That's it, there's nothing to see, let's go back and continue our journey. Zhao Kuangyin said: "Go to Tingzhou, capture the Zoroastrian leader to the Uighur Khan, and maybe reward us with something." The Khan should have the best doctor in the Uighurs, and there is a greater hope that the man named the Fenghua Khan Ge Renyu will remove the golden threads from your body. If the Uighurs can't do it here, I guess the only way to do it is to go to Persia. ”
After leaving the Uighur territory, there were many options, but the most prosperous was the Persian territory, and the rest of the country was constantly at war, and they were all small countries, and there should be no medical technology like a large country. Therefore, if the Uighurs could not do it, they had to resort to the Persian frontier.
Anyway, Zongxin also believes that the clear and transparent wine comes from Persia, and their ultimate goal is Persia.
Zong Xin nodded and said, "But after I arrive in Persia, I will be separated from those two Europeans, and I am quite reluctant." I finally saw Europeans, and I wanted to learn English from them. The priest and his bodyguards are not talkative, and I usually ask and answer when I talk to them. Forget it, let's go......"
"Wait a minute, there's a situation. Bai Yu suddenly said, "You see that the situation of that horse is not right. ”
Everyone looked into the pit, and the horses were drinking water, but it seemed that their bodies were desperately pushing back, but they didn't have much strength because of injuries to their legs and feet. Half of the horse's face was in the water, and it looked very uncomfortable.
Slowly, the horses moved deeper and deeper into the water, and finally their whole bodies were dragged into the water and disappeared......
Zong Xin's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Ah~ I just said that there is a situation, there is something in the water." ”
"yes, there must be some kind of terrible fish living in the water. Zhao Kuangyin said: "Oh~ I understand, there must be monsters in this pool, so the horses or camels that fall into the pit will be dragged into it by the monsters in the water, and then eaten cleanly, so Balzi just said that there are animals falling in, but we have not seen other animals, and the others have not even seen the bones." ”
Zhao Kuangyin's reasoning is very correct, because few people here dare to come, as long as they fall in, it is a dead end. Not to mention animals, even humans can't climb out of it. Because the people of the Uighur realm are not good at light work, they cannot imagine how a person can jump so high. It is impossible for them to imagine that the Central Plains masters can almost stand on the water, and the water surface is calm without a trace of waves.
Not many people can reach the realm of standing on the water, but if it is just a dragonfly and a little bit of water, it is not difficult.
Zong Xin said: "I'm going to go down and take a look, maybe I can lure the monster out, and then see what the monster looks like." If the length is not too ugly, it is stewed and eaten. If the growth is too ugly, then bake and eat. ”
"You don't even let go of monsters?" Zhao Kuangyin said depressedly: "I don't care if it's roasted or stewed, I'm just thinking about another question, what if the monster in the water is too powerful? What if we can't beat it?"
"If we can't beat even a little monster, then we're waste. Zong Xin said: "Who is interested in going with me?" Although I don't know what kind of monster it is, it may be a little dangerous, but it must be very exciting. ”
Everyone nodded, Zongxin's group of people were very bold, although it was indeed a little scary to face an unknown monster, and this monster could directly drag a horse into the water, without revealing its original appearance at all.
However, everyone thinks that their martial arts are very good, and with so many martial arts masters present, there is nothing to be afraid of. No matter how powerful a monster is, no matter how sharp its minions are, it may not be able to break its own body protection. Monsters don't have internal strength and no true qi, so no matter how powerful they are, they are not terrible. Unless it is a monster of the level of the fire qilin that comes with its own true qi and infinite strength, there is no way for ordinary monsters to hurt a martial arts master.
Zong Xin said: "There is no need to send so many martial arts masters to fight a small monster, it is enough to go to two or three people casually." But it does take a bit of manpower to get the monster up...... That's it, Zhao Kuangyin, you go back first, our family of four will go down and take a look first, and after the monster is killed, how about you clean up the mess?"
"It's better for men to do this kind of thing, and it's better for women to go home and take care of their children. ”
"That's right......" Zongxin originally wanted to find a chance to be alone with his wives, but it was really not good for women to come forward with such a thing as fighting monsters. Zhao Kuangyin is the only one left, and he always takes him to the waves, I don't know if He Meiyu has any opinions.
Zong Xin said: "Then that's it, Zhao Kuangyin and I will go down to fight monsters first, and you can come down later to help move things." ”
"It's just the corpse of a monster, there's nothing to move. The demon said: "Then Bai Yu, you go back and inform them first, Sister Xingyue and I are staring at them here, and you will come over again after you have notified, so as not to encounter any danger to them." ”
Bai Yu nodded, turned back. Although Bai Yu's light skills are a little worse than those of the demon demon, he is by no means under the Dugu Xingyue, and flies back like a gust of wind.
Zong Xin gave Zhao Kuangyin a look, and the two jumped directly into the giant pit, although the sand and gravel under their feet were soft, they were not impossible to step on. In terms of Zong Xin and Zhao Kuangyin's light cultivation, even if there is only some water, it can be used for stepping on the feet.
Zong Xin and Zhao Kuangyin jumped and soon went down to the bottom of the pit, the ground at the bottom of the pit was very solid, and there were a lot of flowers and plants nearby, not like the Uighurs, but a little Central Plains style. Although there are many swamps nearby, there is a bad smell in the vicinity of these swamps, and there are few places that are so refreshing.
"The surname is Zhao, and it's the two of us fighting monsters together, and it's been a long time since this kind of thing happened. But this time the monster is in the water, and we have to lure him out of the water. Zong Xin looked at Zhao Kuangyin very sinisterly as he walked in.
Zhao Kuangyin gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll be the bait." But I'm thinking about a question, if it's your family of four, then who will be the bait?"
"Of course it's me, can't you still let a woman be a bait?" Zong Xin said: "Actually, whoever is the bait is the same, anyway, I don't think this thing in the water is powerful." Just lure him out, and when the time comes, pull him ashore, and he'll be dead. ”
